We finally got a "Big" for basketball?

Waiting to see if Hakstol gets a job in the NHL!

As Nascar99 said he is in the portal.

...and wasn't he supposed to be super close with his sister? A lot closer traveling to Grand Forks from Winnipeg. Oh well, he has to do what he thinks is best for his life and career.

Yeah, if a couple of them didn't want to go into corners before, you really might want to steer clear of them if you end up playing us.

Whose backup?

Guess that means we will be getting Gibson Homer.

Considering he is the one trying to spread discontent, yes it is refreshing.

Can’t Ferris State and UND both claim Jason Blake? I’m sure there are a bunch more examples.

Yeah, we may actually have to go to the net and get some dirty goals by getting in the goalies face. Boisvert and Perron could score with their shot. Boisvert seems like he would go hard to the net if needed, but Perron and McLaughlin not so much.

Assuming he entered so he has a chance to actually play somewhere.

At some point, if there wasn’t a back stabbing, how long would the program go on being run into the ground? Everyone else could see the program drifting into mediocrity except the administration. Something needed to be done to wake them up to that reality.

Pretty much, and it is going to be a model that doesn't work well when more schools start dropping programs so they can compete better in their other programs. And now the NCAA is even running commercials trying to discourage fans from taking out their betting losses on the players. You've kind of created this new atmosphere yourself NCAA.

...and all the while the Athletic Director listens to the hockey Alumni when deciding a new coach. Perhaps they should be the ones laying out all the money for NIL, because who in their right mind would put money towards individuals when they aren't being led in a way to become a team. I am not so sure that some of this money isn't going to create division in the ranks to begin with, making team building even harder.

The teams that are left in the tournament show you can win both ways, with a bunch of high end guys and guys that just become a team and will work for what is best for the team. Western and Penn State don't have the big time recruits, and neither did UConn or UMass, yet all of them made a run. UND should be able to get enough high end guys to make a run, but only if they can get all the guys to buy in and work together as a team rather than a bunch of individuals that have their own self interests in mind.

Sounds like a current UND player called OMac that.

If it means they will work hard and be all in, maybe some changes were in order. Both Perron and Boisvert seemed non-existent at points, however once Boisvert scored a few times coming out of his slump he continued the hot streak.

I think it is a whole lot cheaper to put out a bounty on players, just ask Sean Payton.

...and with how our year was going, why wouldn't you be building for the future with Croal and Littler, guys that showed they cared?

So if he wasn't getting out there enough is that Berry's fault or his. Would love to know how softball the questions were to Jackson during his interview process, because scouts and Junior coaches don't throw out that kind of information about not being out there lightly.

Expectation is top 2 in the league, regardless. Jackson was part of the problem, and he does not get a grace period as far as I am concerned. A new coach would deserve that period, not someone involved in the downfall of the program.

...and Schlossman was upset that they fired Berry? The program is in utter disarray and Schlossman thinks "nothing to see here"!

How did Chaves let our program get to this stage where we are the team getting raided in the portal, instead of being able to get the best talent. The fact that scouts and Junior coaches say we have to be more visible just shows he was completely asleep at the wheel not knowing what was going on with the program.

Montgomery went through Senior day.
